A common scene repeated often amongst many a collector...
We all have our mini-grails, our guilty pleasure grails and of course our ultimate grails.
For me a chance to pick up my ultimate grail arose and i gladly took it up. The hard part is the waiting knowing that it is on its way, wining it's way from CGC to the land down under.
And walking through the front door to find a box waiting there and you start wondering "is it finally here"..and the funny aspect that hits you is that...you've been waiting sp patiently for it, and yet you patiently, cautiously open the box, pull back the bubble wrap... and there it lays
It's not Tec 27 nor an Action 1. It's not any number of landmark titles that populate the golden age and many times it is a point of some derision.
But for me it is the start of a title that i remember as being the first comic i ever read that stayed with me. The first title that i ever started collected and looked forward to each month (albeit a little behind those in that states) to read the stories of my favorite band of marvelous, merry mutants.
So at this moment, i be a very happy aussie and my greatest appreciation to Brent from Quality Comix!!
